Hi Ron,

Good idea but it can't be that as it's an actively developed app which 
has edits saved many times per day. And in fact I'm using 
CGI::App:Dispatch and CGI::App::Server so the MyApp.pm part (where the 
cgiapp_get_query method sits) isn't executable anyway. Maybe something 
to do with CAD?
